Offer sheets are always more money than the tenders. The Bengals most likely would've kept Hawk for an extra $700k, or received a 2nd round pick. Whether we extended him or not is a different story, but Hawk would've stayed for at least one more season.
Surprised we didn't match it honestly, not like he was a slouch for us. Dude made plays as a Bengal.
Then his career went to die in Cleveland cause of injury...
